Royce Gracie

“The art of Gracie jiu-jitsu is to learn how to defend yourself in any situation, not to score points, not for tournament style. It's for a street-fight situation.”

“Demian Maia, I love the way he fights.”

“I travel all over the world and teach people.”

“I'm used to teaching classes in the dark.”

“I live a very healthy lifestyle.”

“I like guys who can use strategy, not just tough guys.”

“You have to work on your stand-up to know what's coming, but jiu-jitsu is enough to win the fight.”

“I'm a vale-tudo fighter.”

“When you like something, it's not work, it's a pleasure.”

“In a street fight there is no time-limit, no weight division, you don't choose your opponent.”

“My Jiu Jitsu is with the gi. It's the real style of Jiu Jitsu, it's with the gi and I fight MMA.”

“I enjoy traveling, teaching and fighting. It's in my blood.”

“You have tons of talents everywhere you go, so you can't be stuck to only one promotion.”

“McGregor is taking Muhammad Ali's model. He can say whatever he wants but he's got to prove it. If he doesn't prove it, his career is going to be short.”

“I'm a fighter. We come from the beginning, no gloves, no rules, no time limits.”

“I like my girls delicate.”

“OK, if he's a grappler, good for me, I know what to do. If he's a kickboxer, I gotta get in a clinch and move a certain way. If he's a karate man, he moves a different way, but I'm still going to have to clinch. So, a sumo wrestler, I have to clinch. It's just, how I get there, how I move it.”

“You know the 80s music is something that no one wants to admit liking, but once then start playing everyone is into it.”

“Don't care about catch-wrestling. I only care about Jiu-Jitsu.”

“I could live on fruits.”
